Why the verdict weights the odds
Only 13.8% of copies reach a 10, which is why the top price is the wrong number to plan around. Weighting each grade’s PSA price by these odds, a submission is worth $582.46£440.37€527.02 on average against $429£324.35€388.17 for the card plus $349£263.86€315.78 at Super Express, the cheapest level PSA will insure it at. That clears $153.46£116.02€138.85, so grading a clean copy is worth the wait.

The Growlithe on this page is the 1st Edition printing from Base Set (Shadowless), and it trades at $72.96£55.16€66.02 in near mint condition. The other 1 printing of the same card sits lower, which is normal: the scarcer print run always carries the premium.
Graded, it runs PSA 5 $23.50£17.77€21.26, PSA 6 $48£36.29€43.43, PSA 7 $78.63£59.45€71.15, PSA 8 $111.59£84.37€100.97, PSA 9 $365£275.96€330.26, CGC/BGS 9.5 $402£303.93€363.74, PSA 10 $2,900£2,193€2,624. PSA has graded 3,336 copies of it. 1,716 completed sales are on file.
What is a PSA 10 Growlithe worth?
A PSA 10 Growlithe from Base Set (Shadowless) sells for $2,900. 10.9% of the copies PSA has graded came back a 10, so that price is the best case rather than the one a submission should expect.
Is Growlithe from Base Set (Shadowless) worth grading?
On the numbers, yes. The average submission is worth $504.10 with every grade weighted by how often this card comes back at it, against $60 for a raw copy plus $369 to send it through PSA Super Express, so it clears $75.10.
Condition does most of the work below the surface. A copy with soft corners or a print line off centre trades well under the market price shown here, and a copy clean enough to grade trades well above it, which is why the PSA 10 sits at $2,900£2,193€2,624. Before you value your own copy, look at the corners under a light and check the centring on the back, where most cards give themselves away.
